Today I wanted to share my favorite photo since moving to CO. This is Carter, my son, who is a full time wheelchair user enjoying being a ‘typical kid’ on an alpine slide. I love this because it embodies so much of the freeing experiences he has had since moving to a town that is so inclusive.

Looking for a homeschool convention? There are some fun homeschool and unschool conventions that I have heard about coming up. If you have any others to share, leave the information in a comment. Hope you get to go to at least one this year!

Good Vibrations Unschooling Conference

SEPTEMBER 10-13, 2009 – SAN DIEGO, CA

Have several friends making it to this one. I would have loved to go but choose the Disney one.

Fun abounds in this week-long gathering of unschoolers at the world’s largest indoor waterpark! Our 2010 UWWG is bigger and better than last year – we’ve doubled the size of the conference area. More room for Funshops, Talks and Special Events!

And… guess what?

NO Registration or Conference Fees!

That’s right – all you pay for is your room registration – at our group’s super discounted room rates – and your family receives a week of waterpark fun and unschooling camaraderie!

In addition to John Taylor Gatto, this year’s UWWG features some of the best unschooling voices around:
